ENTERTAINING SENIORS ON GRANDPARENTS DAY

Living away from home, some elderly people miss the opportunity to celebrate Grandparents Day with near and dear ones. They spend their retirement years in nursing homes in most occasions. The Grandparents Day, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, is more than about celebrating with our own relatives and we should keep aside our concerns for our family members on that day and think beyond. The elderly community has contributed so much to shape our universe and now it’s our time to show how much we respect them So, when you are away from your own grandparents, you can visit a nursing home and provide some companionship and entertainment to the other elderly members of our society and spend the day with them.

Here are some nice tips for entertainment that would definitely help you to plan your activities when you visit them.

 Wish the residents a Happy Grandparents Day, recognize the Day as a holiday, treat the elderly as respected citizens and make sure the entertainments are special and apt for the persons and the occasionnot with pet meds. Usually, playing cards and board games like chess, checkers and bridge are thoroughly enjoyed by the older people. You can also spend a quiet, relaxed afternoon with them by watching a fun family movie.
 Go for a walk with them to cheer them up.  Sharing of special memories or looking through family photo albums with them can make them happier too.
Entertaining the elderly on that special occasion, every year, is not a hard task when you have so many things to do. If they are not in a condition for any kind of physical activity, you can listen to them and let them share their life experiences with you because most of these lonely people will be grateful to you for your company.

Poems for pleasure              Reply to this Comment

I think that poetry is not only pleasurable (given that you choose the right poems) but also therapeutic. People complain that they can't find poems that have a good rhyme, rhythm, story etc. Some of the modern poems are, to be blunt, weird. Try my website at www.whiteheadm.co.uk and then click on Josie's poems, if you like reading poems, or perhaps you are looking for interesting material to cheer people up who are elderly or ill. I hope you enjoy the poems. Josie

Being Old Isn't All Bad              Reply to this Comment

Being old isn't all bad. I’m not being critical of today’s child rearing practices, I’m only asking questions for which I don’t have the answers. The old way of going about raising children wasn’t necessarily better, just different. I suspect today’s children will grow up to be fine adults with the same mix of good and bad qualities we all carry. Yes, they are missing out on the kind of childhood we had, but are they unhappy? I don’t think so. Is a parentally “managed” childhood the optimum approach for growth? I don’t know. In his article on how we took the child out of childhood, Peter Applebome writes about the findings of Steven Mintz, a history professor at the University of Houston, who has written the book Huck’s Raft: A History of American Childhood. Mintz sees three changes that have brought about today’s parental practices. The first is parental FEAR, brought about by excessive media coverage. It’s a big bad world out there, just read the morning papers or watch t.v. Children need to be protected from it. Second, is COMPETITION. The pressures of economic and social status tied with getting into the right college start in early childhood. Last, GUILT. Parents spending long hours working away from home feel they should provide a “DESIGNER” childhood to make up for their absence. Makes you happy to be old doesn’t it?

The Internet as a Recreation Source              Reply to this Comment

The Internet is a great source of information and recreation for seniors! For many seniors, the hardest part is learning how these darn computer things work. I taught numerous professionals how to use new computer systems, but my biggest challenge was teaching someone who never used a computer before, my Mom. From our lessons has come my new website www.helpforwebbeginners.com a site that offers How To's where there's nothing to buy, nothing to join, just free plain spoken instructional guides for web beginners.

Mom & activities              Reply to this Comment

Hi ... my dad passed away in November. We moved my mom from the South end of town to the North end of town -- so she can be near my brothers. She expects to have then entertain her day and night. I would like to find some type of activities for her to get involved. I am going to visit her within a few weeks (I am out-of-town), and want to sign her up at a church. Problem is she is shy and will not reach out to people. They will have to reach out first. My dad always made friends easy and she used him as a crutch for friends. She needs to get out any make friends and reach out. Please advise and thanks

Learn to Juggle @ Juggling is a Snap!              Reply to this Comment

Good Evening! - My name is Joe Havlick, I'm 45, married with two boys (5 and 8) and I live in Ardmore, PA. I am a juggler and teach juggling. I taught a course for a local adult night school and had a surprisingly large turnout. The other surprise to me at the time was the average age, which was somewhere in the senior citizen range. We had a great time working on the juggling together. Juggling is a great skill for older folks to learn - it's fun, it takes some time, dedication, and patience (my parents have more of these than I do!) to learn, and you can do it on your own or with others. Now I'm pursuing my PhD and my experiment involves teaching juggling online. My site and its teaching methods are based on a gradual approach to learning to juggle that grew out of my adult night school teaching experience among other influences. I think it is well-suited to older students. All one has to do to learn is to go to my website and follow along: www.jugglingisasnap.org (By the way, it's free, thank goodness for university research!) Here's a press release: http://www.prleap.com/pr/61049/ And a review: http://justyouraveragejoggler.wordpress.com/2006/07/page/2/ Please check out the site, and have fun juggling. – Joe BTW – Please tell your friends, too!

I know that this will be a great concept for your mom and it has been proven from all the seniors that I have had the opportunity to work with with my intensive workshops.

I am a creative art therapist and I have been painting with the seniors for 5 years. We can have her communicate through sketching, drawing and then painting onto a canvas. It is a whole new concept and serving seniors is what I do. Please see my site at www.canvasonwheels.4t.com or myspace.com/canvasonwheels or reach me at 857-212-2903. I can listen to your moms story and sketch from there and actually come up with her book or have her do the writing.
